Oslebshauser Dorffest — edition 2026

On Sunday, June 7, 2026, Oslebshausen celebrates its Dorffest for the first time at the Sander Center on Schragestraße. From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., a diverse stage programme, hands-on activities for families, and Sunday shopping in the Center's over 30 shops await you. The neighbourhood festival, organised by Gröpelingen Marketing e.V., implements a modernised concept in 2026 with the new venue – more compact, weather-proof, and more accessible than ever.

Premiere at the Sander Center

After years at the Grambke Oslebshausen sports club, the Oslebshauser Dorffest is moving to the Sander Center for the first time in 2026. The new location at Schragestraße 4 in 28239 Bremen offers a perfect mix of covered and open spaces – ideal for a family festival that doesn't depend on the weather.

2026 Programme

From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., experience a varied stage programme with music, dance, and show acts from Bremen West. Associations and initiatives from Gröpelingen present themselves with hands-on stands, small workshops, and information offers. For children, there are play and craft activities; for adults, there is socialising, conversation, and good food.

Sunday Shopping

In parallel with the Dorffest, the shops in the Sander Center are open. Over 30 stores – from fashion chains to drugstores and specialist shops – are participating. This allows you to combine the festival programme with a relaxed shopping trip.

A Sunday for all of Oslebshausen and Gröpelingen

The Oslebshauser Dorffest has been a fixture in Bremen West for years. Here you meet neighbours, local associations, international dance groups, and local musicians – all on a relaxed Sunday when the whole neighbourhood comes together. The festival is organised by Gröpelingen Marketing e.V., which, together with the Bürgerhaus Oslebshausen and many partners, ensures a colourful programme.

New Venue 2026: Sander Center

In 2026, the Dorffest enters a new chapter. For the first time, the event will take place in and around the Sander Center at Schragestraße 4 – right in the middle of Oslebshausen, easily accessible via the A27 Oslebshausen exit and the nearby Bremen-Oslebshausen train station. The concept has been further developed for this: you'll experience a more compact, modern festival area with a stage programme, hands-on activities for families, and many local stalls.

Stage, Hands-on Activities, and Sunday Shopping

The main stage alternates between music and dance performances – international folklore groups, choirs, and bands from Gröpelingen and Bremen provide the atmosphere. For children and families, there are numerous hands-on stations, from creative workshops to small sports activities. The Sunday shopping at the Sander Center also allows you to browse the shops at your leisure while the festival is on outside.

Culinary Offerings

The gastronomic offer reflects the cultural diversity of Gröpelingen: from classic bratwurst and waffles to specialities from Turkey, Bulgaria, and the Middle East, everything is available. Many stalls are run by associations and initiatives from the neighbourhood – the proceeds flow directly back into community work.

A Neighbourhood Festival with Tradition

Oslebshausen is a district with a long industrial history and one of Bremen's most diverse neighbourhoods. The Dorffest makes this diversity visible and celebrates the togetherness of the people living here. In even-numbered years, the Oslebshauser Dorffest takes place; in odd-numbered years, the Gröpelinger Sommer on Lindenhofstraße takes over this role – both are absolute must-attend events if you want to get to know Bremen West.
